International Union of Materials Research Societies - The IUMRS International Conference in Asia 2014
ScopeFor solving the environmental problems arisen from the exponential
development of industries especially in the Asian region, IUMRS-ICA 2014 aims toestablish close relationships between the researchers developing the advanced
materials and those seeking for the sustainable society, who have got no chance
to be acquainted with each other.
